Ground Beef Stroganoff Noodles Recipe

Another successful recipe from Chef John. I swapped sour cream for Greek yogurt and the dish turned out absolutely delicious.

4 stars for the original recipe, but with the following changes, it definitely deserves 5 stars (I tried it both ways). Firstly, I found that adding vodka was unnecessary. Instead, I recommend using rum, brandy, or even better cognac for a more flavorful twist. Secondly, the recipe lacked depth, so I suggest incorporating smoked paprika, chili powder (along with flour), Worcestershire sauce, and a tablespoon of Dijon mustard at the end to enhance the flavor profile. Thirdly, discard the cup of water and deglaze the pan with a cup of dry white wine before adding the beef broth for a richer taste. Lastly, replace sour cream with creme fraiche for a creamier and more balanced sauce. These simple adjustments greatly improve the dish, making it a definite repeat in my kitchen.

I thought it was too salty. I suggest beginning with half a teaspoon of salt and adjusting accordingly.

I tried making this dish and it turned out absolutely delicious! I decided to use more mushrooms than the recipe called for (the video seemed to show more than a cup, so I went with that). Since I didn't have any vodka on hand, I omitted it. Instead of regular egg noodles, I used thicker Kluski egg noodles to cater to my husband's preference, but they took longer to cook so I added extra beef broth. I garnished it with green onions on top. I recommend using a pan with high sides and a lid for this recipe. Even though my non-stick pan didn't develop much fond on the bottom, it didn't affect the dish much. Both my husband and I really enjoyed it and I will definitely be making it again.

I absolutely adore Chef John! This dish was incredibly comforting, creamy, and packed with flavor, plus it was a breeze to clean up afterwards. Normally I dislike when people alter recipes, but I couldn't resist adding a hint of Dijon mustard, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. The use of ground beef was genius, and cooking the noodles in the broth really elevated the dish with even more flavor. This recipe is definitely going into my regular meal rotation!

This recipe is fantastic and much better than the packaged version, yet still nostalgic. The video provides helpful tips before proceeding. It's important to rely on the video as the cooking times may vary depending on factors like heat control and ingredients. I opted for using broth only, without water, and added a bit of bullion and Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. Following CJ's suggestion, I used white wine instead of vodka, and the dish turned out great! While it took a bit longer than anticipated, the end result was worth it. The mixture may seem loose at first, but like the original hamburger helper, it thickens perfectly after a few minutes of cooling down.

Review rewritten: I have a soft spot for Beef Stroganoff and Hamburger Helper, so finding a way to combine them into a quick, easy meal was a dream come true. I don't understand why some people find it too much effort; after all, it's just cooking, not rocket science. I added extra onions, mushrooms, and garlic because I had them on hand. Following another reviewer's advice, I included 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp of steak sauce, ¼ tsp of garlic and onion powder, and a pinch of dry mustard. I opted for penne pasta, which cooked in about 12 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

I really enjoyed how simple and delicious this recipe was, with just a few tweaks to suit my family's tastes. I added 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon of HP (Steak) sauce, along with 1/4 teaspoon each of onion and garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon of dry mustard, and plenty of extra black pepper. I topped it off with fresh dill and chives, along with some sour cream. Another fantastic recipe by CJ! Thank you!

I doubled the recipe and invited four friends and family members to join us on this nostalgic culinary journey. I omitted the vodka as it didn't seem necessary. I cooked buttered flat egg noodles separately to allow guests to customize their sauce-to-noodle ratio and to ensure the sauce thickened properly. Just before serving, I sprinkled a teaspoon of smoked paprika over the sauce, which added a fantastic subtle flavor reminiscent of sherry or brandy. Alongside the dish, I served a delightful medley of roasted red potatoes, Brussels sprouts, yellow and red peppers, zucchini, and red onion. A couple of days later, my wife and I indulged in the leftovers, finding it just as delicious—if not better—than the original meal.

I prepared this dish last night and it turned out fantastic! I made a few slight changes to the recipe while cooking some ingredients. Instead of using cayenne pepper, I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the oil when cooking the ground beef along with minced garlic. I also held off on adding the onions until after partially cooking and draining the beef, to avoid them becoming too soft. The vodka added an interesting flavor to the dish, giving it a nice edge. I thoroughly enjoyed it and even reheated a bowl for lunch today. I will definitely be making this again.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce at the end along with sour cream.

The only adjustment I made was using a mixture of beef and pork ground meat instead of just beef, as it was what I had on hand. Delicious!

First of all, I enjoy the recipe itself, but I find the writing style to be overly detailed and cumbersome. The excessive use of "Step this" and "Step that" makes it more difficult to follow. However, I followed the instructions precisely and the final result was fantastic. This meal is hearty and truly satisfying.

I truly enjoyed it! I'm so happy I decided to give this recipe a try. Now I have a delicious and simple dish to add to my repertoire!

I've made this recipe several times. This time, I used turkey instead of ground beef to reduce my red meat consumption. It turned out fantastic, tasting just like the original with ground beef. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely amazing flavor! I only used garlic powder, salt, and pepper as seasonings. I was short on sour cream, so I mixed it with half-and-half – it still came out fantastic! I skipped the water and vodka, and cooking the noodles with the dish worked perfectly, just needed a bit longer than the recommended time. The whole family adored it, and leftovers the following day were even more delicious. It's like hamburger helper, but way superior!

I substituted two cans of Campbell's beef consomme for beef broth, added a pinch of pink salt, and used bow tie noodles in my recipe. I opted to skip the vodka. It took slightly longer than 5 minutes for the noodles to soften, possibly due to their size. I just completed the dish (literally just now) and it turned out a bit more liquidy than I preferred, but I anticipate it will thicken as it cools, resembling the picture. :)

I prepared it with fewer beef and more mushrooms. It turned out delicious. It's definitely a dish worth keeping.

This recipe is perfect for those times when you're not in the mood to cook but still want to whip up a tasty meal for the family. The flavor far surpasses anything you'd get from a box meal. I didn't have mushrooms on hand, but even without them, this dish turned out fantastic when paired with some veggies on the side. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I don't think anyone could go astray with this one.
